Brian,
I am interested in your experiences with the promise raid card,
what driver does it use? ( we use the 3ware with the twe )
is there management software to monitor it like the 3ware?
can you set it up to email you on a disk failure,
are there comand line tools from unix to monitor it ( don't know if
3ware has these actually !)
what model do you use and approximately how much are they?
thanks in advance,
Gerald
